In the original Japanese version didn't the Squirtle squad originally threaten to kill Misty if Ash didn't get back in time? But in the dubbed they changed it that they'd die her hair purple right?

Right, when Ash was running to get the super potion and when he got back to the cave where Meowth was keeping Misty, Brock and Pikachu and they were missing, Ash was picturing Misty screaming.
That was a scene from the Japense epsiode where the squirtles threatened to kill Misty.

I distinctly remember the Squirtle Squad saying "or red-haired girl gets it". I never remembered them actually saying that they were gonna dye her hair purple. I only remembered Ash asking Misty about it. Unless they re-edit it or something.

An interesting episode to say the least, other than the usual 4kids riceballs to "doughnuts " they left real guns unedited in this episode, thats a very big surprise considering "The Legend of Dratini!" episode was banned because of a gun pointed at Ash. Anyway I liked seeing the Squirtle Squad again, even if they were a bunch of pranksters before at least they helped the town when they were needed, even if they threated to dye Misty's hair purple, but I always wondered why Ash imagined her falling down a hole in the cave, and I found out in the original japanese episode they threatened to kill our heroin. Grats to Ash for getting his sixth Pokemon now his team is complete.

My Grandmother always said...
"She who walks the path of heaven will rule over everything"

And yet, Squirtle's awesomeness had only just begun. Until they stuck him back with those other losers on that lame squad. He deserved better than that!

Eh, as awesome as Zenigame was, he was ten times more bad*** when he was in charge of the Zenigame-dan. Dunno why the writers decided to scrap his prankster attitude after he left - it could have made for some great material.

It is surprising that this episode even aired but I believe in the episode The Legend of Dratini guns were actually fired. In the original Japanese version the squirtle squad actually threatens to kill Misty if Ash did not return in time not dye her hair purple like in the dub.
